Megan Thee Stallion commanded the spotlight at the premiere of her documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words on Wednesday night.
Fresh from filing a lawsuit against a blogger for cyberstalking, the Savage hitmaker, 29, arrived at Hollywood’s iconic TCL Chinese Theatre looking incredible in a plunging, purplish-blue gown.
The dress hugged her curves and showcased a daring neckline, while she swept her signature raven locks into a chic bun and accessorized with elegant diamond drop earrings.
On the red carpet, she took a moment to pose with Nneka Onuorah, the documentary’s director, who dazzled in a chic pantsuit adorned with a stunning array of diamond jewelry.
The film chronicles Megan’s dramatic rise and resilience, tracing her path from her 2019 breakout single Big Ole Freak to the trials of the Tory Lanez shooting incident.
According to the official synopsis, In Her Words ‘unpacks Megan’s most vulnerable moments in a powerful way that allows fans to meet the real Megan.’
‘I really didn’t want to do it at first because I was so in a dark place and I didn’t want anybody to see me,’ Megan said of filming to People.
‘I was just not happy. I couldn’t even pull myself out of bed half the time. I didn’t want anybody to see me like that because usually people see me as such a strong woman.’
‘But then I just really got tired of seeing other people tell my story and I knew that I had to take control.’
Megan Thee Stallion first made waves in 2018 with her breakout EP Tina Snow and the hit single Big Ole Freak, her first track to land on the Billboard Hot 100.
Managed by her mother, Holly Thomas, Megan’s rise in hip-hop was both a personal and professional journey—one shaken in 2019 by her mother’s passing from brain cancer.
Her star power soared in 2020 with the smash single Savage, which gained Grammy-winning fame after a high-profile remix with Beyoncé.
Yet behind the spotlight, Megan was navigating personal turmoil, including the fallout from a July 2020 shooting incident involving rapper Tory Lanez.
In August 2023, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being convicted of shooting Megan in the foot following a dispute, marking a dramatic and painful chapter in the artist’s career.
In the new film, Megan reflects on these challenging times in her life, admitting she felt fragile and uncertain about her ability to move forward.
‘But I just kicked myself in the butt,’ she told People. ‘I just got up and… I’m me right now. And I’m not saying I’m a 100% OK, but I’m definitely not where I was then.’
Hours before the premiere of In Her Words, Megan sued YouTuber and social media personality, Milagro Gramz, for allegedly acting as a ‘mouthpiece and puppet’ for Tory Lanez, who shot the rapper in 2020.
In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, Megan Thee Stallion’s attorney, Alex Spiro, accused blogger Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, known as Gramz, of orchestrating a campaign to ‘denigrate, belittle, insult, and spread false statements’ about the rapper in connection with Lanez.
The lawsuit alleges that Gramz went so far as to share a ‘deepfake pornographic video’ of Megan, which Spiro argues violates Florida laws against ‘altered sexual depictions’ of individuals.
Megan addressed the situation in a statement to DailyMail.com, asserting, ‘It’s time to hold bloggers accountable for years of harassment, cyberbullying, and the publication of misinformation about my personal and professional life.’
She expressed her frustration over the attacks on her character fueled by false narratives from self-styled bloggers masquerading as journalists.
She added, ‘It’s unacceptable behavior and these individuals need to understand there will be repercussions for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.’
In response, Gramz acknowledged the lawsuit in a post on X, stating, ‘I’ve been informed that I’m being sued by Alex Spiro on behalf of his client Megan Thee Stallion.’
